Popular Post DrumScorps Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 Hi everyone! We're excited to announce that DrumScorps is back, although not exactly how you remember it 😀 Today we are officially launching our new website, www.drumscorps.com Our new website will provide the drum corps community with the latest scores, news, rankings, and more. We've designed the website with three basic principles in mind: Clean, consistent, easy to navigate UI Performance/responsiveness - pages should load quickly and look great on any size screen Useful/engaging content - news, scores, recaps, rankings, and more The site we're launching with today is just the foundation for exciting things we have planned leading up and into the 2024 drum corps season. Some features we have on the roadmap are: Historical score submission - Our current score database only dates back to 2013. In the future, we will add the ability for users to submit scores for older events and after a moderation process, these scores will be available on the site. Our ultimate goal is to make available scores for every event in DCI's history. Score prediction contests - Once the 2024 season starts, we plan to run a season long score prediction contest. Users can login each day to submit their predictions for that night's contests. Points will be awarded based on the accuracy of predictions and we will have a leaderboard to track who has the most points. Advanced stats - We are planning to add some useful/fun ways to view our score data. One of these will be charts to track one or more corps scores over time. Another will be corps comparisons where users can, for example, see if Corps A has ever beaten Corps B in percussion. As always, we value feedback from the community. We'd love to hear what you think of our new site and hope that everyone enjoys using it as much as we have enjoyed building it. https://www.drumscorps.com  10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumScorps Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Small update. We've just added the ability for users to submit scores for historical events. Our current scores database only goes back to 2013. With the help of the community, we'd like to have the most complete, accurate, and accessible drum corps scores database on the Internet. We will review each submission and if found to be accurate, the scores will be posted on our site. If you have the time, we'd love for everyone to submit scores from 2012 and earlier to help us fill out our database. Thanks! https://www.drumscorps.com/submit_score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I have considered adding this if there was enough interest. Would probably be 2 feeds: one for our aggregated news content and one for the blog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
